The Alphas Business

03|Halftime

ABIGAIL RAYMOND
I would be a liar if I didn't say Mr.Wilson was indeed the most handsome man I had ever came across. His intense gaze made my body full of goosebumps, it was almost electrifying.

I signaled Kate and Joel to sit while I made my way to Mr. Wilson, "Gentlemen, I would like to Welcome you to Raymond Inc. I am Abigail Raymond CEO of Raymond companies , it is a pleasure to meet you." I said extending my hand to him.

Mr. Wilson took my hand shaking it, I shuddered at contact, " My pleasure, I am Jeremiah, Jeremiah Wilson. You may call me Jeremiah," He said. His eyes were magnifying, he was trying to restrained himself. I could see it, he was trying so hard it was almost cute.

I was use to this type of reaction from men. Some see a pair of breast and a pretty face and they lower their guard. Its what made my attack strategy work effectively.

I released his hand and turned to my seat across the room," Well Mr. Wilson, I am going to go ahead and give you the spotlight," I said.

I sat in my seat for a total amount of two hours listening to the proposal Mr. Wilson had set on my table. I was at the point that I was tired of listening. I knew I was going to turn down his proposal, as cocky as it sounds I don't need anyones help making my company big. I could do by myself with the help of my team. Mr. Wilson was here out of courtesy.
If would have stopped insisting he wouldn't be here wasting his time. I had already told him I wasn't interested but like any other Alpha male he was determined on changing my mind on this partnership crap.

I would not give him the satisfaction. It's not because I don't work well with other is that I don't need people telling me the only reason I am big is because of a man. I get enough of that sexist crap.

" Questions Ms. Raymond?" Mr.Wilson asked as soon as he finished. I tired to him trying to make the illusion that I was listening when in fact I wasn't.

" No, Mr. Wilson, Thank you that was a great presentation," i said with a nod.

I flicked my wrist to check the time and it was noon. I was like always late to lunch with Cain. I turned my attention to Mr. Wilson, " It is currently mid day and have somewhere to be. We will return to this in an hour. I have arranged lunch for you and we will meet back in an hour is that fine?" I asked. He was here already might as well feed him and his people. Call it hospitality before I kicked him to the curb.

Mr. Wilson looked confused for a second before nodding in agreement, " Thank you, Ms. Raymond."

" Great, see you in an hour," I said while standing up.

" Hey? Where are you going?' Joel said as he stood up with me.

" None of your business, metiche," I said making him follow me out the door . I signaled Kate to follow me. She stood up right behind me and followed me out the door.

" Kate, I am going to step out the building for lunch and I will be back for the meeting. I want you to make sure that the food arrives fro Mr. Wilson and his people . You can take your lunch too, I made sure there was extra just in case you wanted to eat." I said to her making my way to the office.

" thank you Ms. Raymond," she called after me as I went into my office.

" Joel, you can eat with them or order food," I said to him before grabbing my purse and putting on my coat. It was cold October and I couldn't catch a cold I had to much to do and a sick day didn't really involved me completing all that work that needed to get done.

" Are you going on a date? With who? " Joel said taking a seat in front of my desk.

I scoffed, " Why do you have know everyones business?" I said to him throwing him a stack of little post-its.
